Bedwetting: The Root Cause is Sleeping So Deeply

SleepQuest Continues to Fight for Sleep Apnea Education

I was reading about National Sleep Awareness Week and wanted to comment.

I work with the Enuresis Treatment Center, which deals only with bedwetting cases. Bedwetting is actually a problem caused by abnormally deep sleep, which doesn't allow for the bedwetter's brain and bladder to connect so they can effectively respond to each other.

In 99% of all bedwetting cases, the root cause is sleeping so deeply. It is an inherited deep-sleep disorder that results in non-restorative, unhealthy sleep. This is not quality sleep, but compromised sleep that results in daytime symptoms; difficulty awakening, fatigue, memory difficulty, irritability, difficulty concentrating, hyperactivity.

Bedwetting, as well as the deep sleep disorder, can continue into adulthood if left untreated. If one were to outgrow bedwetting -of which there is NO guarantee - then they are left with the sleep disorder that caused the bedwetting in the first place. It is common in adult years to then see the occurrence of sleep apnea, sleepwalking, insomnia, ADD symptoms. 1 in 50 teenagers, as well as a reported 3.2 million adults (ages 20-50) still wet the bed.

For 34 years, The Enuresis Treatment Center has successfully treated thousands of people from around the world who thought there was no hope for their child's bedwetting. Our research and experience has validated that bedwetting is the result of a genetically-linked sleep disorder that can be treated. We are a world leader in enuresis treatment, and the only clinic to reach a global community.
